that have accumulated in my path,
the attacks of the press, the alb
stention of the men whom the public
voice called to my side, and the increas-
ing impossibility to form ministry, I
struggled on and remained where duty
bade me; but at the moment when
public opinion, better informed, marked
q change which gave me hope of
forming a government, the Senate and
Chamber of Deputies voted double res
olution, which, under the form of an ad-
iournment to a fixed hour to await the
Presidents promised message, is tanta-
mount to summoning the President
to resign. 1t would be my duty and
right to resist, but under the circum-
stances in which we are placed a conflict
between the Executive and Parliament
might entail consequences which restrain
me. Wisdom and patriotism command
me to yield"

DEATH OF AN OLD SETTLER.

Mount Hope Mentor.
DIED:-At his residence five miles east
of Mount Hope, Sunday night June 10, at
lilo D. M, Andrew Lakeland, after a
lingering and painful illness of several
months from disease supposed to be a
cancer.
Mr.. L. was born in Gallston Ayrshire,
Scotland, May 25, 1910. Early in life he
entered the Presbyterian church and be-
came an active member, occupying the po-
sition of deacon in the church, and super
intendent and teacher in the Sabbath school
nearly all his active life.
He was married in 1865 and came to
America in 1870. Came to Sedgwick
county, Kansas, in 1871 United with the
Greedy NOW Mt. Hope Congregational
church; of which church he remained an
active honored member and officer until
death came to release him from toll and
labor, and to transport him from the church
Militant to the church Triumphant. He
leaves a wife and six children and scores Of
neighbors and friends to mourn his absence.
But what is their loss Is his gain. In Mr..
LIS. death the family have lost faithful,
devoted, husband and father, the church
one of its best members and society an honor
ed and true citizen. On Tuesday after
noon large concourse of neighbors and
friends. a number from Wichita assembled
at the family residence for the funeral
services, which were held in the grove
near the house. Funeral services were
conducted by Rev. L. Hull, assisted by
Rev's J. Bunker, "a former PASTOR and

A POLITICAL INSTITUTION.

terfering. The explanation is found, per-
haps, in the assertion of Senator Sherman,
that the bank was political institution
that had from the first received every favor
from Manning and Jordan. Certainly the
business methods of the bank were
such as to have justified interior
ence long ago. It was managed
from the start with the idea to use its
funds for the benefit Of its managers, who
were gambling in Chicago. To this end
extraordinary efforts were made to induce
country banks to Keep their deposits with
them. As high as four per cent interest on
balances was offered, and various other
commissions. They wanted to have some
thing to check against when they made
their raid on the Chicago market. Some
eighty banks bit at the bait, and are now
among the mourners. Mr.. Trenholm knew
what was going on, but claims that he had
no right to interfere. He might at least
have warned the officers of the bank what
their operations would end In. But he did
not, because the Democratic secretary of
the treasury and United States treasurer
were patronizing the institution, and its
officers were permitted to steal 5000, 900 to
gamble with. They lost it, and then Mr.
Trenholm stepped in. If they had won
there would have been no disturbance, and
they would have been permitted to go on
until they did lose.
1t is question who is most guilty-the
officers of the bank, who took the money,
or Mr.. Trenholm, the government officer
whose duty it was to see that they did not
take it.

a PROBABLE SURPRISE.

Globe Democrat-There is probably a
big surprise party in store for the Demo
Gratis who imagine that they have struck on
scheme to convert Samuel J. Randall in
to free trader. The scheme consists in
getting a revenue reduction measure
framed by Speaker Carlisle, formally in
dorsed by the administration and regularly
adopted by the caucus. Randall, the free
traders assume, viii not have the temerity
to oppose it then, as such action would
lead to his expulsion from the party.
There are two or three little matters, of
which the free traders seem not to be
aware, that promise to block this
game: % Randall owes no
gratitude to the president, as the
latter has for the past six months labored
conscientiously to give all vacant places in
Pennsylvania to Randall's foes. (2) Randall
knows than any weakening on the tariff
issue would mean political death for him at
the close of the fiiftieth congress: and 80
the Democracy know as well as Randall
does that they dare not, after congress be-
gins, even hint at expelling him. Cleve-
land a year hence, after getting the NOM
instion for the presidency, will beseech
Randall, as Is always done in the beginning
of national canvasses to stump protectionist
districts and tell voters that the free trade
record of the Democratic party actually
means undying devotion to the tariff.

The article republished in the Hutchinson

sample of the answers to the position taken
by the EAGLE in regard to the metropolitan
police law. The EAGLE came out squarely
and gave its objection to the law, and
against the appointment of metropolitan
police force for this city. 1t showed that
the law itself was un- American, in that it
took the government from the majority
and gave it into the hands of minority
1t showed that law was inforced in Wichi-
ia as well as any city in Kansas. A few
newspapers, whose editors assume to be
leaders, have attempted to answer these
statements by asserting that Col NJ NJ.

Wichita will be compelled to observe the
law. If it had ''ten Marsh Murdocks." And

their lives ''that q government of the peo-
